Anodizing screw up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

f my life. so after 7 weeks going on 8 weeks i call up anotech here in CA and say hey do you know where my parts are and when are they going to get done?

did this about 4 time over the course of the 7 weeks.

called them today again, they didnt know what i was talking about, so they called me back later and said, we found your parts finally i have no idea if they have them all or not. we will find out i guess.

so like a dumb horse, i sent a nice blue x-valve with the parts so they could color match to that valve......

Sorry to hear about the issue, i've had multiple anodizing nightmares in the past (precision, gruntbull, etc) so it really frustrates me to hear about anotech. For right now just regroup and take an inventory of exactly what you are missing.

If they don't come back with any good news I would try to talk with someone high up in Anotech. Time will not be on your side since it been a really long time since they probably saw the parts. Be cool, calm, and collective and make sure to document everything you can.

If you still don't like the answer I would drive down, or see if someone from AO can help.

Catalog

What I have done in the past is photo catalog my parts on disc and serialized them and a description measurements etc.
printed a hard copy packing slip and requested signature return.
Also on the packing slip I leave all names times phone of the salesman.
I also went as far as to describe work to be done and a my phone number so they could call me when parts are received don't ship in an ordinary package make it unique to your parts so its easy to find hope this helps

im running my memory down, and im 4 parts short of what he told me the number on the bag said

he said 48 im remembering 44.
not to mention the color sample the blue x-valve.(im so efin stupid)

so im waiting to see what he says tommorow.

then ill press for pics of the parts.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh h.

EDIT:
i aparently cant talk to the owner/daughter Kelly any more,
because she is going through her own thing or something.
i have no idea. but all else fails ill drive up there. i have no problem doing that.

This would have been great before he sent the items.., remain calm knownothing I had an issue with anotech and they did resolve it.

so like a dumb horse, i sent a nice blue x-valve with the parts so they could color match to that valve......

Interesting... i am another person who had Anotech loose a few parts on me. Nowhere near as big a deal as a blue xvalve though. I sent a CCM feedneck collar as a color match for my red xvalve (reading this i am thankful they were the EXACT same shade!) and didnt get it back. they also lost my emag trigger and are going to be buying a replacement (i sent them your way Luke for an Acis )

Thats a bummer to hear. With any luck all these pieces just got put in a box somewhere, though i fear the worst may be more likely.

you know we have an organization system here that I find stupid... THAT OTHER PEOPLE DONT DO IT!

every job that comes in gets a serial number assigned to it then gets placed in a bin with a copy of the incomming paperwork and all the parts associated with it. when a part comes in it is doccumented and placed in the bin. parts that have yet to arrive are written in red on the front of the bin... I could go on. I work with cylinder heads and the biggest thing I've ever lost is a valve keeper!
